Review of Platos The Allegory of the Cave :: World Literature
In Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave," Socrates tells an allegory of the hardship of understanding reality. Socrates compares a prisoner of an underground cave who is exploring a new world he never knew of to people who are trying to find a place of wisdom in reality. According to Socrates, most people tend to rely on their senses too much and believe the world as it is appeared to our sight. In order to free our souls from this mental prison, Socrates suggests that we should go through a phase that does not only prepare ourselves for the real world but also prevent us from heading to the wrong direction to seek the truth - education. In conclusion, Socrates believes those who have reached a higher level of knowledge and wisdom should bear a responsibility to lead the community and improve it because they are blessed with better education and are able to enjoy a different reward than the power to control others like most politicians do. Two thousand years after Plato has written down the allegory, it is amazing how we can still relate it to our everyday lives. As Plato wrote in "The Allegory of the Cave," education is a very important phase that leads us to wisdom and helps us to get accustomed to the real world with less difficulty. Apparently, this theory has proven to be correct for the past two thousand years. Until today, those of higher wisdoms are mostly people who have mastered a thorough and solid education; and they certainly have become the leaders of the community who share their knowledge and enlighten many people. We can also find Plato's theory on rulers of countries relevant to the world today.

Case 9: Horniman Horticulture Essay
1. Strengths: ââ¬â Profitability Ratios: Constant growth from 2002-05, particularly year 2004 and 2005 with impressive growth in revenue with12.5% and 15.5% respectively, much higher than the benchmark just -1.8%. Gross, operating and net profit margin were all performing better than the benchmarks. ââ¬â Management: Co-owner Bob Brown has been brought up to value a strong work ethic, which he has obtained through his father since at young age by working for his father at the mill. After finishing his study, he returned to the mill and excelled at his job (supervisor) and was highly respected. Bob was a ââ¬Å"people personâ⬠, his warm personality made beloved by all customers and employees. Weaknesses: ââ¬â Activity Ratios: takes increasingly time to receive payments from sales ââ¬â 51 days year 2005 (far exceeded the benchmark ââ¬â 22 days). Days of inventory on hand (476 days) has been increased gradually much higher than the benchmark (386 days). Payables turnover (10 days) is too short compared with the benchmark (27 days) and slowly declined as years pass by. ââ¬â Liquidity problems seen through cash on hand kept decreasing since 2002 and sharply reduced in 2005 probably resulted from the issue that quick payables and slow receivables happened simultaneously every year. Since 2005, they had not reach their target balance of 8% cash over total revenue (fell to 0.9% ââ¬â 2005) 2. Free cash flow to the owners of the firm (FCFE) for 2005: FCFE = Operating Cash Flow ââ¬â Change in Net Working Capital ââ¬â Change in Investments |Operating profit | |100.0 | | âËâ Taxes | |39.2 | | + Depreciation | |40.9 | |Operating cash flow |101.7 | | âËâ Capital expenditure | | (4.5) | | âËâ Increase in NWC | |(156.3) | | Increase in CA |803.3 ââ¬â 642.9 = 160.4 | | |- Increase in CL |47.3 ââ¬â 43.2 = (4.1) | | |Free cash flow | |(59.10) | Cash cycle of the business for 2005: CCC = Days Inventory Outstanding (DIO) + Days Sales Outstanding (DSO) ââ¬â Days Payables Outstanding (DPO) = 476 + 51 ââ¬â 10 = 517 (days) Using cash: Even though HH had rapidly increased gross profit, operating profit and net profit since 2002, the firmââ¬â¢s cash balance had massively declined from $120,100 (2002) to $9,400 (2005). Increasing in inventory as extending property by 12-acres, with an expected capital expenditure of $75,000 in 2006, HH has also increased their product range by 40%. Therefore cash has been used a lot in this period. The firmââ¬â¢s credit terms have been improved as HH offers longer payment periods for customer (DSO of 51 days), firmââ¬â¢s payment of purchases within 10 days (DPO) to receive a 2% discount, this shows that HH is making payments five times faster than receiving them. DIO is also a concern that HH has a hand in, HH is choosing to focus on more maturing plants, therefore its inventory will naturally be longer than the benchmark, in fact, HHââ¬â¢s lowest end was still 10% over the benchmark. 3. The growth trend would be expected to be stronger in 2006. However the cash deficit is still a significant issue due to both capital expenditure and working capital would be further increased in order to maintain the business expansion. Therefore, they need to work out some financial leverage to solve this problem. |Projected Horniman Horticulture Financial Summary (in thousands of dollars) | | | | | | | | | | |2002 |2003 |2004 |2005 |2006E |20% | |Profit and loss statement | | | | | | | |Revenue |788.50 |807.60 |908.20 |1048.80 |1258.56 | | | Cost of goods sold |402.90 |428.80 |437.70 |503.40 |630.49 | | | |51.10% |53.10% |48.19% |48.00% |50.10% |Percentage of Sales | |Gross profit |385.60 |378.80 |470.50 |545.40 |628.07 | | |SG&A expense |301.20 |302.00 |356.00 |404.50 |482.53 | | | |38.20% |37.39% |39.20% |38.57% |38.34% |Percentage of Sales | |Depreciation |34.20 |38.40 |36.30 |40.90 |37.45 |Average over 4 years | | Operating profit |50.20 |38.40 |78.20 |100.00 |108.09 | | |Taxes |17.60 |13.10 |26.20 |39.20 |42.37 | | | |35.06% |34.11% |33.50% |39.20% |39.20% |Similar as year 2005 | | Net profit |32.60 |25.30 |52.00 |60.80 |65.72 | | | | | | | | | | |Balance sheet | | | | | | | |Cash |120.10 |105.20 |66.80 |9.40 |13.43 | | |Accounts receivable |90.60 |99.50 |119.50 |146.40 |160.24 | | | |11.49% |12.32% |13.16% |13.96% |12.73% |Percentage of Sales | |Inventory |468.30 |507.60 |523.40 |656.90 |763.03 | | | |59.39% |62.85% |57.63% |62.63% |60.63% |Percentage of Sales | |Other current assets |20.90 |19.30 |22.60 |20.90 |20.93 |Average over 4 years | | Current assets |699.90 |731.60 |732.30 |833.60 |957.62 | | |Net fixed assets |332.10 |332.50 |384.30 |347.90 |300.10 | | | Total assets |1032.00 |1064.10 |1116.60 |1181.50 |1257.72 | | | | | | | | | | |Accounts payable |6.00 |5.30 |4.50 |5.00 |5.20 |Average over 4 years | |Wages payable |19.70 |22.00 |22.10 |24.40 |31.41 | | | |2.50% |2.72% |2.43% |2.33% |2.50% |Percentage of Sales | |Other payables |10.20 |15.40 |16.60 |17.90 |21.19 | | | |1.29% |1.91% |1.83% |1.71% |1.68% |Percentage of Sales | | Current liabilities |35.90 |42.70 |43.20 |47.30 |57.80 | | | Net worth |996.10 |1021.40 |1073.40 |1134.20 |1199.92 | | | | | | | | | | |Capital expendit ure |22.00 |38.80 |88.10 |4.50 |75.00 | | |Purchases |140.80 |145.20 |161.20 |185.10 |224.13 | | | |17.86% |17.98% |17.75% |17.65% |17.81% |Percentage of Sales | 4. The companyââ¬â¢s accounts-payable policy: Currently the firmââ¬â¢s DSO was 10 days (in order to receive a 2% discount), approx. 2.7 times as fast as the benchmark of 27 days. This policy is not suitable as their current credit terms offered to customer up to 51 days, which is double the benchmark. The firmââ¬â¢s net profit margin was 5.8% (the benchmark is just 2.8% ââ¬â 2005), so HH does not need to continuously make payment to suppliers early (adversely, HH should take advantage of the offered credit terms allowing firm 30 days to payback for purchased goods), and also HH will also reduce the credit terms even though the sales probably drops, which would leave more cash available for firm as well as the cash cycle will be shorter so that the business will avoid the insufficient liquidity of the cash. If HH does not change the policy, in the long run, the shortage of cash may adversely influence the purchasing power and operating capacity of the business and further businessââ¬â¢s profitability. 5. What can the company do to solve its cash problem? ââ¬â Offers discount payment terms (i.e. 2% discount if payments are received within 10 days): enable HH to collect cash immediately. ââ¬â Takes advantage of the offered credit terms (allow firm 30 days to payback the purchased goods): keeps more cash for operating activities in long-term period. ââ¬â Slows down the expansion pace to decrease the capital expenditure. Starts selling product ranges that are not ââ¬Å"instant landscapeâ⬠plants (as these take a long time to mature and also can eliminate some risks for keeping the plants for longer periods of time ââ¬â feature of this industry: rely heavily on weather that is unpredictable) ââ¬â Raising funds: starts financing through debt, also can receive the tax shield benefit on interest payments. Transforms business from sole proprietorship into partnership in effort of not only increasing cash available for business but also receiving contributions of property, labor and skills form partners. 6. Calculate the sustainable growth of the company in 2005: |Sustainable growth = ROA x Leverage x Retention | | |5.36% | |ROA (Net profit / Total assets) | | | |5.15% | |Leverage (Total Assets/Net Worth) | | | |1.04 | |Retention (1- Dividend Payout ratio) | | | |1.00 | |Economic profit = (ROA ââ¬â Cost of capital) x Total Assets | |-57.35 | |Cost of capital | | | |10.00% | |Total Assets | | | |1181.50 | |Net Worth | | | |1134.20 | The negative economic profit shows that the firm does not earn a sufficient return on capital. The firm is facing their dismissing level of cash and as a result, the negative cash level in the forthcoming years will be clearly observed. As shown above, the majority of the firmââ¬â¢s cash expenditure is held up in inventory (with cash cycle being 517 days compared with the benchmark of 381 days) and account receivables (due to the collection policy). The trade-off that company has to face is an increase in their credit terms. Even though this may reduce the sales volume, the company will probably avoid the risk involved with having a more mature product range.

Ethical Dilemmas - 1374 Words
Abstract According to the phase 2 individual project assignment instructions, each student is asked to look at two scenarios and answer the related ethical questions following each one (CTU Online, 2013). Additionally, it is asked that each student provide a discussion on the new GAAP guidelines for consolidating entities, and to provide an example of a firm that has experienced trouble for failure to comply with the GAAP guidelines. Ethical Dilemmas in Partnerships Scenario 1: In the first scenario, there are two partners in an antique business, Mr. Right and Mr. Wrong. Mr. Right manages the store, and Mr. Wrong travels and purchasesâ⬠¦show more contentâ⬠¦GAAP uses to models for consolidation which are variable interest entities (VIE) and voting interest entities. A concept does not exist for a firm with less than a majority of voting rights. According to Ernst and Young (2011), another aspect of consolidation is the principle-agent evaluation in control assessment. This states that in VIEs, consolidation is based on economic considerations, while with voting interest entities there is no explicit concept. Another aspect is consideration of kick-out rights and participating rights in control assessment. In this concept ââ¬Å"VIEs are substantive if unilaterally exercisable by a single partyâ⬠(Ernst Young, 2011). Voting interest entities are exercisable by a majority of parties. Consideration of related parties in control assessm ent states that VIEs have an aggregated interest of related parties and de facto agents in some cases, while no consideration exists in voting interest entities. In Investment Company accounting, the investment company records all of its investments in entities at fair value. Where there is a decrease in ownership provisions, guidance applies to non-profit activities and businesses (with or without loss of control).

Autism Social Spectrum, Communication, And Difficulty
Discussion In the interviews gathered, the researcher was trying to gain knowledge of what people think autism is and how they feel towards those who have autism. The most important finding in this was study was most people had a different experience with those with autism and most did not know what autism specifically is. This is the most important finding because the interviews helped gain a different perspective from what the literature said. Interviews were very interesting for the researcher to gain these insights from interviewees. The answers give insight into perceptions individuals have of experience and judgments interviewees have of autistic people. The five themes: social spectrum, communication, difficulty, repetition/memorization, and cruel/ignorance/assumption, could help explain how people think of those who have autism because perceptions helps gain a different perspective from the actual literature. Some of these themes support the general research question about ho w those who have autism are perceived. The themes social spectrum, communication, and difficulty benefit to uncover the way those with autism are perceived and how people feel about them.

Health Feeling of Negligence
Question: Discuss about the Healthfor Feeling of Negligence. Answer: Introduction Being a descendant from an indigenous background, my family had to face severe racism, feeling of negligence, inferiority complexes almost everywhere in the workplaces. Aborigines were note being allowed any leave for any sort of festivals. The promotions were in a very limited in condition (Germov, 2014). The whites or the non-indigenous people were allowed for any sort of leaves, the promotion in the work place were very easy for them in the work place. Several cultural factors were into consideration in the health sector for the aborigines in Australia. I came to know about the cultural issues that are being faced by our family. If any ritual coincides with the ritual of the whites, we were asked either to withdraw or were to create obstacles in between (Baum Fisher, 2014). Whenever any member of my family got an opportunity to be the manager of any particular organization, they were totally being disobeyed by the whites, it never matters whether they are young to the ages or not. Structural factors are one of the considerable factors for the work that is performed in an organized manner. The occupational health of the aborigines were always not that poor than that of the whites. The health of the aboriginals is quite different from the health of the general people. Aborigines were note being allowed any leave for any sort of festivals. The promotions were in a very limited in condition. The whites or the non-indigenous people were allowed for any sort of leaves, the promotion in the work place were very easy for them in the work place (Ball, 2015). Employment rates are lower than the unemployed rates. Artificial obstacles emerged probably in light of the fact that (a) native people groups did not 'fit in' to the earth made by the financially competent European people group that was presented in the eighteenth century and (b) it was accepted (wrongly) that training would do no great. Sadly the general population who hindered native progression by denying training (and furthermore other people who attempted to quicken it with basically "social" re-designing independent of native individuals' genuine needs and desire) were not honored with immaculate astuteness or fore-learning (Drummond et al., 2016). Regarding salary, in 1973/74 the greater part the Indigenous populace of the three urban areas studied 55 percent in Brisbane, 55.4 percent in Adelaide and 76.7 percent in Perth - were 'exceptionally poor' or 'rather poor', that is, living on salaries of close to 20 percent over the Henderson destitution line. This contrasts and 20 .6 percent of the adds up to Australian populace. The explanations behind this high level of destitution in the Native people group were, in Henderson's view, topographical area in zones where few employments were accessible, absence of aptitudes and experience to empower rivalry for the accessible occupations, and bias from businesses that was visualized by all Natives as languid and questionable (Cottrel et al., 2015). 'He presumed that poor business prospects are the essential element hidden indigenous neediness'. In the event that location disservice is the principle contributing component, Indigenous unemployment ought to be relatively lower in urban regions where most work is found. Be that as it may the issue of high Indigenous unemployment is not restricted to country and remote regions where business openings are probably going to be restricted (Wenger et al., 2016). In major urban zones in 1981, 13.8 percent of Indigenous working age individuals were unemployed and by 1991 this had ascended to 17.7 percent; this contrasts and 13.3 percent and 12.8 percent, individually, in other urban regions and 9.1 percent and 11.2 percent, individually, in rustic zones. It is clear from this data that unemployment was in certainty more terrible for Natives in urban focuses than in provincial ranges, in spite of the fact that the for the most part lower interest rates of country occupants should likewise be considered (see beneath). In the meantime there had been a considerable increment of more than 40 percent in the vicinity of 1981 and 1991 in the quantity of Natives in major urban focuses; the obvious rising unemployment rate in these focuses appears to have been joined by an ascent in populace (Leischik et al., 2016). Tesfaghiorghis and Altman likewise take note of an adjustment in populace appropriation: 'the extent of the Native populace living in provincial regions declined from 56 percent in 1971 to 34 percent in 1986, though the rate living in major urban regions expanded from 15 to 24 percent and those living in other urban ranges ascended from 29 to 42 percent over a similar period'. It has been noticed that there has been a lot of 'discuss social affectability and independence' - with the suggestion this should have been taken further Lamentably this "talk" can darken the basic question of whether culture is a noteworthy determinant of individuals' capacity to be tangibly effective. This can prompt the discernment that, if native individuals' have not succeeded, the main conceivable clarification must be segregation and bigotry. One spectator has proposed that the savagery against ladies and kids which swarms native groups might be a roundabout consequence of a refusal to perceive that native societies contain no understanding of "group" (and in this manner don't breed 'group pioneers' to stifle such conduct) - on the grounds that doing as such would have uncovered the shortcoming of 1970's indigenous-freedom legislative issues (Hampton Toombs, 2013). Reasonable endeavors to address the center of native burden has likely been made considerably more troublesome in the course of the last 20-30 years by post-current philosophies which (in an emotional over-response to defects in prior epistemologies) have embraced the idea that "truth" is generally or altogether a social build (ie "learning" principally mirrors the suppositions that specific gatherings make for their own particular political preferences). This prompts the view that societies are simple matters of individual inclination which have no viable outcomes. These suppositions prompted endeavors to create remote native groups carrying on with a seeker gatherer way of life on customary grounds - a "test" which a few spectators propose has confined native groups from standard society and prompted a large portion of their present hardship. These suppositions prompted endeavors to create remote native groups carrying on with a seeker gatherer way of life on customary grounds - a "test" which a few spectators propose has confined native groups from standard society and prompted a large portion of their present hardships for critical thinking - which does not function admirably at the level of groups all in all in light of the fact that the unpredictability/interconnection of the issues that emerge. The East Asian communitarian models demonstrate that (given other requesting conditions) this impediment can be beat. However in light of the fact that social impediments aren't talked about, nobody appears to have done any work on conceivable choices for native groups; absence of accentuation on private property (particularly common responsibility for. Without private property access to the loaning securities that is to be expected to take an interest in a cash based economy is constrained. Property rights have been contended to be key to lifting poor people groups out of destitution - by giving intends to take an interest in the formal economy. An inclination according to a WA open hireling required with indigenous affairs] to learn in the solid, as opposed to in theory. This makes challenges in managing levelheadedness and science, and with arranging/fund and so forth; a state of mind to time which does not plainly recognize over a wide span of time, and an introduction to the past (ie towards their identity) as opposed to towards future advance (NNilson, 2016). These are especially basic issues in light of the fact that monetary profitability (ie accomplishing high esteem added to pay high wages, benefits and assessments) does not come about because of being effective, but rather from having upper hands - which requires consistent change and learning as people, ventures and groups.; a clear absence of administration - which is a basic limitation on account of the fundamental significance of progress for monetary profitability. An absence of successful pioneers has been believed to emerge from (a) living in survival mode a nd (b) the absence of an idea of people in general great (Doig Theobald, 2013). Nonetheless it likewise appears to be likely that native seniors see their part as strengthening the past instead of making a future. Native people group individuals from Narrogin, a little West Australian town 200km south of Perth, quality a spate of suicides which happened in 2008 to bigotry and separation. They assert that segregation included being told there were no employments at the chamber, just to see the occupations offered to white individuals (Kan, 2016). Others get no place when attempting to lease a house, winding up approaching white companions to do it for them. Segregation and prejudice can negatively affect individuals' mental and physical wellbeing because of the anxiety, fear and other negative feelings that go with it. Individuals can disguise the negative remarks and generalizations they are subjected to (Moyle, 2014). In the end they may no longer care for themselves and disregard standard rest and work out, or numb their sentiments with smoking, liquor or medications. One era can pass on the impeding impacts of separation to the people to come. "It's recently this truly profound, profound sentiment you don't have a place and regardless of what you're doing, nothing will change. You feel like a non-individual," said one. Native lady. Dug in disservice and an absence of employments and cash all add to Native suicide. Individuals from Native people group additionally have a recognition that police treats them uniquely in contrast to white individuals when they react to calls. Native lady. Dug in disservice and an absence of employments and cash all add to Native suicide (Race, 2014). Individuals from Native people group additionally have a recognition that police treats them uniquely in contrast to white individuals when they react to calls. A further issue not inspected in any profundity; however it is all over alluded to, is the inference of current detriment. Quantitative examination demonstrates to us where weakness exists, however it doesn't disclose to us where it started, and there is a lack of other research which intr oduces this essential issue. To get to the base of all these thorough subjective research is direly required, beginning with research to recognize the authentic foundation to the issues as of now experienced and to look at the impacts of this history on current contemplating the issues (Macrae Hoareau, 2016). Without a superior comprehension of history as it particularly identifies with Indigenous business and the continuous impacts of that history, there can be close to nothing seek after change in the immovable drawback of the relatives of Australia's unique occupants.
